Innovare is a startup company that utilizes the untapped biomass resource of natural rubber seeds to manufacture raw materials for biofuels, biochemicals, and biocoke. Through its proprietary biorefinery process (Japanese Patent No. 7372615), the company separates oil, shell, and residue from rubber seeds and supplies each as renewable raw materials. By promoting the replacement of fossil-based feedstocks and advancing circular economy initiatives in collaboration with natural rubber plantations in ASEAN countries, Innovare aims to contribute to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.

Developing a system that leverages algal blooms to simultaneously capture and sequester CO₂, nitrogen, and phosphorus from water. Deployed for aquaculture, industrial wastewater, and sewage, it provides infrastructure that enables both decarbonization and resource circularity.

Producing industrial carbon and silica from agricultural and food waste

Revo Energy sells a plant that enables the complete self-sufficiency of biodiesel production, with zero raw material costs. The plant cultivates euglena using a proprietary method of heterotrophic cultivation, where nutrients refined from rice are fed to the euglena, resulting in a rapid increase in the number of euglena in a short period of time. The resulting oil is then refined and turned into the first 100% HVO biofuel in Japan. This technology will solve problems faced by logistics companies.

A Kyoto University-spinoff startup has developed technology that analyzes forest trees down to their species, height, and carbon content using drones and AI. It supports carbon credit creation and monitoring based on forest data.
